The Bike Happening - Part 1

Three years ago I met with my friend Todd at Linnaea's Coffee Shop in the heart of downtown SLO. I had just come from a filmmaker's forum at the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival (SLOIFF) and I told him that I had resolved to make a documentary.

We discussed an idea that he'd been kicking around for a while. He told me he'd always been fascinated by a much-loved local event known as Bike Night. We decided to start filming the monthly ride…

…in December 2008 we completed the final edit of our documentary, which we named The Bike Happening, and submitted it to the 2009 SLOIFF. I was pretty confident that it would get selected, because I thought we'd done a good job of capturing the atmosphere and emotion of the happening, but you can never be sure. Then, a couple of weeks ago we heard the news…

The Bike Happening has been selected for screening as part of the SLOIFF Central Coast Filmmaker’s Showcase.

Doesn't that sound fancy?

The showing takes place on Monday, March 9th at 6pm at the Downtown Brew (right across the street from Linnaea's) and is followed by a short question and answer session. Come on down and check it out!
